Outgoing? Hamer

[bladesmanluke]

Just so very depressing. I don't think there are three worse squads than ours in the league this season

There are: the 3 promoted teams for a start.

 

[NerdyBlade]

Danny Hall saying no deal agreed so must still be a ways off

 

[Keith S]

Me neither. I think there are 15 or 16!

 

[PaddysMad]

I don’t think he’ll go

 

[Bladesman]

Danny Hall saying no deal agreed so must still be a ways off

If Hall is saying that then there is a good chance he has gone already.

 

[NerdyBlade]

I don’t think he’ll go

If Cov are that keen, you think they'd have a deal by now. We've given them a firm asking price, either meet it or don't

 

[HeCanDoMagic]

Danny Hall saying no deal agreed so must still be a ways off

Not aimed at you but:

Danny Hall is trusted when we want to believe the news. However he's shit when we want to deny it.

 

[Wards]

We won't do that. We'll loan someone

History tells us this is the usual way we operate. You don’t replace Hamer without spending a lot of more than we bring in, probably on two players, especially so if we want to sign them permanently.

 

[Dave]

Here we aren't going

 

[Gin&Juice]

I don’t think he’ll go

heard owt pal? class if so

I’m 50/50 I Coventry are just gonna be battered every week

 

[coolasanidiot]

Yes there’s financial considerations but the folk like us paying for season tickets never seem to be considered, last years fun players Brooks and Hamer, both the most entertaining players we had. To be left with Rothwell etc so damned upsetting.

 

[ComedyClub]

Here we aren't going

I'll believe Sky Sports over a Journo who works for a banter outlet.

 

[sufc323]

Weird how some are assuming that he won't go as he's still training for us in Bochum, yet expect Souttar to be finalised in the next few days even though he's still training and appearing for Leicester

 

[Blade58]

We won't do that. We'll loan someone

Always my worry that

Sell your few assets and replace them with loans, to me is an indication of a spiral downwards

Hopefully, the club will purchase his replacement if he does leave

Sky know what’s going on with agents. Our local journalists are about a week late with most news. He’ll be running about in a Coventry shirt by the time Hall and Staton report he might sign for Coventry.

Jesus, I know it's the Blades way but there are a hell of a lot of glass half empty fans on here. Hamer stays or goes we move on, last year of his contract, 3 or 4 million in the coffers or he signs a new contract and basically have him till the end of his career.

Either way it is what it is and as long as we sign a decent replacement, loan or permanent then one door closes another opens.

Jack Clarke would do for me.

I very rarely trust Hall but isn't he with the squad currently?

 

[Bladesman]

That means nothing. He isn’t with his agent is he?

This photo reminds me of the Monchengladbach Deaf and Sheffield Deaf teams back in 1983. I am front row 4th from left. Matt Crooks' dad is 7th from left top row.

Ahhh - for those multi racial inclusive days

No chance we are and always have been a selling club that never ever replaces with better. That’s why I can never understand fans taking a financial position. I always want to keep best players because we just do not ever upgrade.

Jack Clarke is going to Leicester.

 

[Torrix1889]

Jack Clarke is going to Leicester.

I would be amazed if he was, League 1 is not really going to benefit him at all.

 

[ben1987]

Jack Clarke is going to Leicester.

It’s Tommy Watson

 

[Bladesman]

It’s Tommy Watson

Fair enough got the two mixed up.

 

[Lowen]

This team is miles off it without Gus and you’d basically have to take the moneyball approach of ‘replacing him in the aggregate’ with a left winger who scores goals and a central midfield player who creates them. That would be an expensive outlay on two players and not sure the fee we get for Hamer will allow us to do it. Which is why you just don’t sell really.

Don’t understand why the club is scared to death of players leaving for free, it happens all the time at other clubs because they seem to understand they’re also a football team that has a season full of games to play, and maybe performances on the pitch have to be considered.

 

[TJ blade]

I’d take the money and look to reinvest it in a replacement.

Of lesser quality , no doubt!

 

[Torrix1889]

It’s Tommy Watson

Easy to mix the two up but to be fair, Watson is a great signing for Leicester. Pigs crowing about Barry but chalk and cheese compared to Watson!

Exactly we are totally tinpot.
